Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Not long after, the gate opened again.

It turned out that Grandpa Lin and Song Youlin and a few others had returned together.

"Grandpa, look! Sister Song asked me to write my own name, and I wrote it correctly! This is the pencil and manuscript paper that Sister rewarded me with. She said I can practice writing on paper in the future." When Shuo Shuo saw his grandfather coming back, he excitedly raised the pencil in his hand to show his grandfather.

Grandpa Lin saw that the pencil was new and looked at Song Shuangshuang with gratitude.

He had wanted to buy pencils and manuscript paper for his grandson before, but unfortunately there was no money at home, so he could only let Shuoshuo write on the ground with a wooden stick. This time, the old leader helped him, and life became better. He was thinking of saving some money to buy pencils for Shuoshuo next month, but he didn't expect Song Shuangshuang and the others to deliver them first.

"Why did you come back with Grandpa Lin?" Song Shuangshuang was a little curious.

Song Youlin explained that they happened to meet each other near the alley. Just as they were about to hide, they were stopped by Grandpa Lin. After a brief explanation, they came back together.

As soon as he saw the old books and waste newspapers in his younger brother and He Feiyang's hands, he knew that these were what Grandpa Lin had just bought from the scrap collection station.

"It's just a small amount of food, and you guys are still scrambling to get it. Give it to me now. Go wash your hands and sit down to rest for a while."

Grandpa Lin took the old newspaper from the two and put it aside.

Song Shuangshuang hadn't taken care of it just now, but now that she had time, she walked around the yard and even took a look at the kitchen.

He sighed and came out, pulling the other four people outside to talk for a few words.

"Hey? Where are Xiao Song, Xiao Jiang and the other two?" Grandpa Lin saw that they had not come in yet, so he came out and invited them in.

In the end, I didn’t see Jiang Jingcheng and the other three.

"They went out for something and will be back soon." Song Shuangshuang answered casually.

Grandpa Lin didn't think much about it and asked her and Tan Anjing if they had eaten and asked them to have a bite here.

"We've already eaten, don't worry about us. You and Grandma Lin can eat first. An Jing and I will just sit in the main room for a while."

Just now she noticed two more stools in the main room. They were a bit old. She thought that they were either bought by Grandpa Lin from the scrap yard or given by those people.

The old couple felt a little awkward. They were eating here, and it felt inappropriate for Song Shuangshuang and Tan Anjing to watch. They wanted to make malted milk, but they only had a few bowls at home, no extras.

Seeing the old couple's awkwardness, Song Shuangshuang told them not to worry about them, or they could go out for a walk.

"That won't work." Doesn't it look like they are kicking people out?

Seeing that the old couple and Shuo Shuo were eating simple porridge and pickles, Song Shuangshuang wondered whether to have dinner at the Lin family in the evening.

Just now, they got together and said that they wanted to buy some things for the Lin family.

The Lin family is so poor that they have nothing. Even though with the help of the old leader, that group of people will not come again, but the family of three relies solely on the meager salary earned by the old man sweeping the streets. How long will it take for them to buy something?

Thinking about it this way, it was just right to have dinner here tonight. Otherwise, the old couple would definitely not be willing to eat the food they brought.

Well, maybe she can wait for Jiang Jingcheng to come back and go back to the village with him?

Thinking of this, Song Shuangshuang asked the system to help convey a message to her brother, asking him to bring back two pots and some bowls and chopsticks, as well as some food and more eggs.

The weather has started to get warmer, and the meat won’t be kept for many days, so eggs are just the right choice.

After more than half an hour, the three people who had gone out to do business came back.

Hearing the noise in the yard, the old couple also came out of the house.

A few people came back pushing a small cart with a water jar on it.

"You guys..."

After looking at the jar, the old couple realized that the children had not gone out to do business, but had clearly gone to buy this jar for their family.

"We didn't buy a tank that's too big because we thought it would be inconvenient for you and Grandma Lin to clean the tank, and we were also afraid that Shuo Shuo would fall in." Jiang Jingcheng explained why they didn't buy a tank that's too big.

The Lin family has a well, so there is no need to get a big vat. This vat is used for cooking and washing. It can save a lot of trouble.

The old couple was so moved that they were grateful enough that these children helped them get through the most difficult winter. They never thought that these children would buy other things for them.

"I'll give you the money when I get home. You can't spend it." The old couple still had some money saved.

This jar has to be bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, which not only requires money but also a ticket. How could they let their children pay for it?

As soon as Grandpa Lin finished speaking, he saw several people taking things out of the jar.

In addition to grain, there is also meat and vegetables, as well as an aluminum pot and a smaller iron pot.

The old couple were so shocked that they were speechless.

Seeing the children trying to move things into the house, Grandpa Lin came to his senses and said, "No, no! We can't take these things. Take them back quickly!"

"Yeah, we can't have these things."

Even the regular workers in the factory were reluctant to buy so many things, especially the two pots, which cost so much money and industrial coupons.

The old couple can’t afford it either.

Song Shuangshuang pulled the old couple aside and whispered that these things did not have coupons and were not bought at the supply and marketing cooperative. She also gave the old couple a look that said you know what I mean.

Even if the old couple had never been to the black market, they knew what Song Shuangshuang meant.

"you……"

The old couple couldn't believe that such well-behaved children were actually working in the black market.

Song Shuangshuang touched her nose embarrassedly, took a small step back, and asked the system to call her brother over to clean up the mess.

Song Youlin had just moved the water tank into the house with Jiang Jingcheng when he heard his sister calling him.

He looked up at Jiang Jingcheng and pulled him over.

If such a good thing happens, Jiang Jingcheng will definitely take the blame for his sister.

When they came over, they saw Song Shuangshuang standing in front of the old couple with a guilty look on her face, while the old couple were so surprised that they were speechless.

Song Shuangshuang reached out and gently tugged at Jiang Jingcheng's sleeve, whispering that in order to reassure the old couple about accepting the things, she told them where they came from.

I just didn’t expect Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin to react so strongly.

Jiang Jingcheng felt a little helpless but also expected it. This was something she could do.

After giving Song Shuangshuang a reassuring look, Jiang Jingcheng took the responsibility of the matter.

"My family is in a special situation. I have been working in the black market for the past few years for my family. These things didn't cost much. I got them at cost price. You can just accept them."

The old couple still refused to accept it. Even at cost price it would still cost a lot of money.

"Take it. These things were collected by all of us. Jiang Jingcheng didn't spend all the money alone. Consider it a gift from us to you."

Song Shuangshuang acted coquettishly and naughtily, and finally made the old couple agree to accept these things.

However, he still couldn't avoid the old couple's caring and lecturing.

The old couple didn’t think that those involved in the black market were bad people. They had done nothing wrong to end up like this.

"You have to be careful at ordinary times. If there is any danger, come to grandpa and grandma. Grandpa and grandma will protect you."
